There are many different sophisticated methods for measuring density but they all revolve aroud the equation of Density = Mass/Volume. To find the density you need to ascertain the item's mass (weight) in grams and it's volume (how much space it consumes). The simplest method for determining volume of an irregular solid object is to submerge the object in a liquid and measure the change in water level in milliliters. This can be done with a measuring cup or preferably a graduated cylinder. To determine mass just weigh the object on a household metric scale, recording the weight in grams. Now divide the mass by the volume (mass/volume). The resulting number is your density value in grams per cubic centimeter. (g/cm^3) For example if my mass is 5 grams and my volume is 3 milliliters of displacement, my density is 1.7 grams per cubic centimeter. 5g/3mL=1.7 g/cm^3 Note: a cubic centimeter (cm^3) and a milliliter are precisely the same. One is conventionally used for solids, the other for liquids.
Probably the same as the metric system everywhere else.
NO Such unit as 'Metric Inches'. In the metric system of linear measure, the unit is 'centimetres / metres'. In the Imperial System of linear measure, the unit is inches / feet. Next you are referring to linear measure, then at the end refer to volume measure; 'Cubic feet', Please clarify your question.
What metric unit would you use to measure a computer keyboard
The metric abbreviation dL stand for deciliter. This unit of measurement used to measure the volume. 1l= 10 dl.This is the relation.
the unit used for mass in density
You need its mass, and you need its volume. Then you divide its mass by its volume and that is how you express density. The most common unit of measure I have seen is grams/liter, if you use the metric system.
The metric unit of length is the 'meter'.
No. The closest metric unit is the meter.
The metric unit used to measure the density of a solid is grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). This unit represents the mass of the solid per unit volume, and is commonly used in scientific calculations and measurements of density.
A metric unit of measure for volume, often liquids.
The basic metric unit of measure for length is the meter (m).
The standard unit of measure for length in the metric system is the meter.
You would use the metric unit "liters" to measure the capacity of a hot water tank.
No, it is an imperial unit of measure.
Any metric measure of volume.
The metric unit used to measure weight is the kilogram (kg).
Weighing balance is used to measure mass. The metric unit is kilograms.
